How to Draw and Sketch for Absolute Beginners 2 Perspective (Udemy.com)

As a total beginner to perspective drawings and sketching I admit this course has a value. The instructor is knowledgeable with the subject in perspectives and gives good pieces of advice. As a total beginner. I'd recommend this course for those who are total beginners in perspective drawings and want to supplement and enhance their artistic and graphic design skills (which was one of the reasons I took the course) and add this course to their collections of many other courses in sketching and drawing.

Got so much from Beginners 1, I am jumping in to Beginners 2 and so excited! This has not been just about learning to draw, it is also about finding my unique style, about finding confidence even when I don't hit the mark, and my skills still increase. This was about finding my way to express myself through drawing and sketching. Thanks so much

I felt that Rich is a great teacher, and course content (including advance section) covers enough detail to make one feel confident about perspective. One highlight for me was the variety of examples to show how a particular perspective can be used to create different types of scenes. The examples are fun, easy to follow along, and easy to practice on own. I finished the course quicker than I expected because I watched most of the videos at a higher speed (as the normal speed was too slow for me). Overall, highly recommended.

This is my review while I have not completed 2D perspective. This is an excellent course on the subject. The reason that I only gave 4 1/2 was confusing opening sessions in 1 point and 2 point perspective. It is entertaining to watch Rich sketching and showing what works or do not work with perspective when the session is about to end. It is more effective teaching if Rich can give a brief overview what student is about to learn from the session. For example, I had to complete watching 4 sessions in 2 point perspective to realize that it is not interesting to apply strict 2 point perspective in cityscape sketching but it may be fine to apply in interior design/sketch. Finally, Rich's approach in teaching the advance section is not very structure and formal, but what he taught in that section is very practical and it helps me quite a lot to understand perspective and scale in space.

I am very disappointed that everything is done on his tablet. He just assumes we all know what is going on with his "automatic" perspective tool and he just clicks away and lines appear. My ruler and pencil do NOT know what he is doing. I've taken other classes of his and have LOVED them. This one, not so much:(

The material is presented in a very thorough manner. I also like that the instructor gives you a lot of homework to drill home certain points. Be warned, however, that this is indeed a true beginner's course. The instructor assumes you have absolutely zero spatial awareness, so if you have any experience working in 3d or, well, a functioning pair of eyes, you'll find the pace to be a bit slow. Because he's often drawing and explaining things at the same time, a lot of the drawings are rather sloppy, sometimes infuriatingly so. All in all it's still a good course. I'm happy I enrolled and still learned quite a bit. I just feel like the material could have been condensed a bit more.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class on perspective. Its great for beginners. Rich Graysonn is short, sweet, and to the point. I personally felt some more detail could have been included on the more involved areas such as 3 point perspective but again, it is labeled for beginners and that is exactly what Rich gets across in this course, basic fundamentals and then some.

It was a quite basic tutorial on perspective. Definitely for beginners but I loved his practical examples which gave different ways to use perspective in drawing, definitely not the usual treatment. It really helped nail down why we do boxes and grids, as he shows HOW to use these in real drawings. I learnt about using the horizon line in my cartoon drawing which really helped me as I was struggling with that particular concept despite having read reams of books on perspective. I think I'll go back to those other books now with a deeper understanding of what they are talking about and get a better understanding of the concepts. I think if he worked out where he was going rather than doing things on the fly, might be less confusing for beginners. Prepare before the lecture so he doesnt make mistakes. It was a bit distracting. Great beginners tutorial tbough.

The teacher is well prepared on the subject, it is definitely a useful course for beginners especially if you follow the lessons by doing the exercises. I give 4 start because I would have liked a bit more structured approach, lots of time is lost by the teacher trying to fix the drawing, or because he forgets what he was saying... The information is good but the exposition is not top. A good starting point to learn perspective though!

This is hands down a must take course for anyone wanting to learn perspective or to refresh their "perspective" on the topic. The instructor is an excellent teacher. His voice, pacing of the content, and overall personality makes the learning process very enjoyable. I've been a hobbyist artist for many years and have always struggled with perspective. Even with some of the books I've bought and flipped through while attempting to learn perspective. I never had that ah ha moment. Perspective just never clicked for me like I wanted it to. In a matter of a weekend. Literally a weekend. I now have a full grasp of one, two, and three point perspective. With the knowledge and tools provided from the course I can continue honing my skills. I'm more confident than I've ever been to purse my artistic endeavors in ways I've always wanted. Now I'm by no means an expert after 48 hrs. Nor am I rendering breathtaking images. Yet. However, I am grinning from ear to ear at my progress as I continue to impress myself after each practice session. If you honestly do the work and take your time you'll be amazed at how far you can go. Like I said, this is truly a great course but more importantly it's really fun too.
